Overwhelming Response to Tree of Tranquility on 500px

As you may know, I do post some of my better works onto this website, but also onto 500px.com.

I recently got back from my Portland, OR photography trip with the family. I finished perfecting my photo of the Japanese Maple Tree in the Portland Japanese Garden. I posted the picture on 500px and over the course of 24 hours, I got a rating of 99.6! I’ve never broke into the 99 range nor have I ever been on the first page. There was an overwhelming amount of likes, favs, comments, and shares on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. I just can’t believe it! I thank each and everyone that took the time to make a positive impact on me. I appreciate it very much!

Here is a screen shot of the last few minutes before 24 hours was up. I’m just so happy! Whooohoo!
